Ferrocarriles en el Perú: ¿Qué tan importantes fueron? Luis Felipe Zegarra* Abstract This paper analyzes the evolution and main features of the railway system of Peru in the 19th and early 20th centuries. From mid-19th century railroads were considered a promise for achieving progress. Several railroads were then built in Peru, especially in 1850-75 and in 1910-30. With the construction of railroads, Peruvians saved time in travelling and carrying freight. The faster service of railroads did not necessarily come at the cost of higher passenger fares and freight rates. Fares and rates were lower for railroads than for mules, especially for long distances. However, for some routes (especially for short distances with many curves), the traditional system of llamas remained as the lowest pecuniary cost (but also slowest) mode of transportation. Key words: Transportation, railroads, Peru, Latin America. JEL classification: N70, N76, R40. * Luis Felipe Zegarra is PhD in Economics of University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA).

  • Producción Informe Técnico NACIONAL
    Producción Informe Técnico NACIONAL www.inei.gob.pe N° 02 - Febrero 2020 Diciembre 2019 El Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática informa que la producción nacional en diciembre de 2019 creció 1,12%, registrando 125 meses de crecimiento continuo. Este resultado se sustentó en la evolución favorable de la mayoría de sectores productivos, destacando el comercio, agropecuario, servicios prestados a empresas, minería e hidrocarburos y telecomunicaciones. Contrariamente, se vieron atenuados por el resultado negativo de los sectores Pesca, Manufactura y Construcción. El crecimiento de la actividad económica se explica por la evolución positiva del consumo de los hogares reflejado en las mayores ventas minoristas en 3,21%, los créditos de consumo en 12,67% y la importación de bienes de consumo no duradero en 11,90%. Asimismo, las exportaciones reales crecieron en 5,71%, las tradicionales en 3,32% destacando los productos mineros como el cobre, hierro, plomo, zinc y molibdeno, y las exportaciones no tradicionales en 12,72%, entre ellas los productos agropecuarios, textiles, pesqueros, químicos y siderometalúrgicos. La producción nacional en el año 2019 registró un crecimiento de 2,16%, con mayor aporte de la actividad comercial, de telecomunicaciones, agropecuario y servicios prestados a empresas, describiendo una evolución positiva ininterrumpida por más de dos décadas. El índice desestacionalizado de la producción nacional en diciembre 2019 presentó una disminución de 0,28%, respecto al mes inmediato anterior.

Abstract The Maule 2010, Chile, and the Tohoku-Oki 2011, Japan, earthquakes have reconfirmed that superficial geology is critical in the seismic intensity, and for predicting the occurrence of soil liquefaction, one of the most damaging seismic effects. From 1998 to 2012 multihazard maps, land-use plans for reducing risk, and disaster mitigation project profiles were developed for 175 Peruvian cities by Peru’s Civil Defense (INDECI) and UNDP. During the Ica, Peru, 2007, earthquake, the actual damage distribution in Pisco, Tambo de Mora and other cities, agreed very well with the multihazard map developed six years before, showing how useful those maps are. Kuroiwa and Delgado (2012). In 2013 the author proposal to Peruvian Engineers Association (CIP) and INDECI to complete the SCP, so that in 2021, the year of Peru’s Bicentennial of its Independence, most of the 175 cities may have their SCP implemented. ©© 20142014 TheThe Authors.

  • Revolt in Iquitos Lima, Per February 22, 1956 R
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIKS WH American Embassy Revolt in Iquitos Lima, Per February 22, 1956 r. Walter S. Rogers Institute of Current World Affairs 522 Fifth Avenue New York 36, New York Dear r. Rogers: For .the last month Peruvian politics had been following a predictable pattern of violent verbal attacks delivered by govern- ment and oppoSition speakers against their enemies. Pedro Rossell6 and his cohorts took a swing through the politically powerful northern coastal region. The pro-government Partido Restaurador held big rallies in the southern provinces. The government appeared to be paying heed to the demands of the opposition by relaxing the Law of Internal Security of the Republic and de- claring a partial political amnesty; anti-gov.ernment attacks were overlooked, and opposition parties and papers were allowed to operate in relatively complete freedom. To many people it looked as though Per was going through a violent political campaign which would ultimately end in dmocratic presidential e.!ections this June third. Then, on the afternoon of Friday, February the sixteenth, the government suddenly reversed its lenient attitude. In a series of well-planned moves, the Odrla police arrested Bedro Beltrn, direc- tor of LA PRENSA, Pedro Rossell6, leader of the Coalici6n Nacional, and other opposition figures. Those who wished to save their skins fled to the protection of foreign ebassies in the city or to the provinces. A moderate form of martial law was declared. Reason for the abrupt about face, said the government, was the revolt on February sixteenth of certain elements of the Divisi6n de la Selva (Forest Division) stationed in the jungle city of Iquitos.

Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Michael Dürr 2. Gutachterin: Prof. Dr. Ingrid Kummels Tag der Disputation: 18.07.2017 To Ani and Leonel III Acknowledgements I wish to thank my teachers, colleagues and friends who have provided guidance, comments and encouragement through this process. I gratefully acknowledge the support received for this project from the Stiftung Lateinamerikanische Literatur. Many thanks go to my first supervisor Prof. Michael Dürr for his constructive comments and suggestions at every stage of this work. Many of his questions led to findings presented here. I am indebted to him for his precious counsel and detailed review of my drafts. Many thanks also go to my second supervisor Prof. Ingrid Kummels. She introduced me to the world of cultural anthropology during the doctoral colloquium at the Latin American Institute at the Free University of Berlin. The feedback she and my colleagues provided was instrumental in composing the sociolinguistic part of this work. I owe enormous gratitude to Leonel Menacho López and Anita Julca de Menacho. In fact, this project would not have been possible without their invaluable advice. During these years of research they have been more than consultants; Quechua teachers, comrades, guides and friends. With Leonel I have discussed most of the examples presented in this dissertation. It is only thanks to his contributions that I was able to explain nuances of meanings and the cultural background of the different expressions presented.

  • Agricultural and Mining Labor Interactions in Peru: a Long-Run Perspective
    Agricultural and Mining Labor Interactions in Peru: ALong-RunPerspective(1571-1812) Apsara Iyer1 April 4, 2016 1Submitted for consideration of B.A. Economics and Mathematics, Yale College Class of 2016. Advisor: Christopher Udry Abstract This essay evaluates the context and persistence of extractive colonial policies in Peru on contemporary development indicators and political attitudes. Using the 1571 Toledan Reforms—which implemented a system of draft labor and reg- ularized tribute collection—as a point of departure, I build a unique dataset of annual tribute records for 160 districts in the Cuzco, Huamanga, Huancavelica, and Castrovirreyna regions of Peru over the years of 1571 to 1812. Pairing this source with detailed historic micro data on population, wages, and regional agri- cultural prices, I develop a historic model for the annual province-level output. The model’s key parameters determine the output elasticities of labor and capital and pre-tribute production. This approach allows for an conceptual understand- ing of the interaction between mita assignment and production factors over time. Ithenevaluatecontemporaryoutcomesofagriculturalproductionandpolitical participation in the same Peruvian provinces, based on whether or not a province was assigned to the mita. I find that assigning districts to the mita lowers the average amount of land cultivated, per capita earnings, and trust in municipal government Introduction For nearly 250 years, the Peruvian economy was governed by a rigid system of state tribute collection and forced labor. Though the interaction between historical ex- traction and economic development has been studied in a variety of post-colonial contexts, Peru’s case is unique due to the distinct administration of these tribute and labor laws.
